markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. was a report. made to take command of the no fly zone over libya. controlling the military operation but here in tripoli continue support in the capital city. also the public fury of huge cost of foreign military campaigns here stranded austerity cuts at home spreads in the. block look set to bail out another crippled country. and the radiation spike of the fukushima power plant pounds governments consider expanding the evacuation zone still living dangerously close to be said to be struggling without vital supply and .

this is also a lawyer from our studios here in central moscow where it's now ten pm and nine pm in libya where nato has agreed to assume command of the patrols enforcing the no fly zone over the country is expected to take charge of the air strikes within days from now officials have warned the operation could last for up to three months overnight fresh bombs rocked the capital tripoli with reports of more civilian casualties. this is the proof of civilians being injured and killed in coalition in strikes we've driven more than forty minutes to see the remains of a rocket and some glass in a big room window where the father says he was very lucky that his family was not at home forgive us for being a little bit suspicious but certainly here the pressure is on for the government to try and show the international community that indeed its claims that more than one
3:02 pm
hundred civilians have been killed are true and we attended a mass funeral where more than fifty coffins we brought out we were told that inside we see millions but the government spokesperson later did admit that it was possible that some of the bodies were places the chest beating at a single position say that all libyans price was so big the question in terms of what is the difference here between a fighter and a civilian now the journalists went to visit a hospital where they were where more than a dozen bodies with charred beyond recognition and presented also as proof that these is tribes are killing civilians there are rumors here in the capital city the bodies are being brought in from i think areas the recent attempts of fighting and been presented to the foreign media as proof again that civilians are the targets and are the collateral damage in these is strikes the reaction on the ground in terms of the announcement that mater now will be in charge of enforcing this no fly zone is rather mixed the average rebel fighter actually doesn't care he just wants to see more weapons he wants to see more air strikes but the opposition leadership
3:03 pm
is a bit concerned they do understand if when you have more powers calling the shots you run the risk of one of them being able to veto any future operation a lot easier for the united states and canada to take this operation forward in european powers which have domestic issues they need to consider such as migration here in the capital city this situation is very very tense friday prayers always a focal point security downtown has been stepped up in fear that they could be massive demonstrations overnight there were strikes in the east in the west of the city targeting military barracks. if feels at the same time there were a lot of aircraft gunfire over the capital city so indeed the situation ten people angry and most just fearing what the next few days and weeks can bring policy r.t. tripoli. where you can find out the latest on libya from ortiz we've just heard from our twitter feed and in one of her tweets our latest one we can see that she
3:04 pm
describes how hard it's becoming for foreigners to flee the conflict after the russian embassy council's an evacuation flight. to continue site they told r.t. the rest of the underscore caught. nigel farage a member of the european parliament and leader of the u.k. independence party believes the whole military strategy in libya has not been thought through. perfectly clear that as far as room poised concerned regime change is why were involved in libya what was also surprising was that we've all seen it to begin with as france britain and america getting involved in this and it now coming on that this morning and they say one brother what that run point made clear was that those countries wouldn't last and in fact could not have gone to war in libya without the european council approving it so whatever employer is saying is that it's the e.u. as much as anybody else that has started off this war and that the aim is to topple gadhafi and i would have thought that that does go against u.n.
3:05 pm
resolution one nine seven three we've been told by the armed forces minister nick harvey in response to a question what is the length of our commitment he replied how long is a piece of string will goodness me we've had british troops on the ground in afghanistan now for over ten years i don't think there's any appetite for us getting involved in foreign wars where we can't directly see our own national interest being threatened and where frankly if we go in to support the rebels we don't even know who they are or what they stand for or what they want i don't think anybody has thought this through it may well be that the people defending benghazi against gadhafi are at the moment very grateful for the help they've had over the course of the last week but you know if we if we run this on any longer we may well find ourselves with ground troops in a country where we actually make both sides of the conflict so high and very very nervously very skeptical i don't like what's happening in libya but here we are
3:06 pm
throwing in our aircraft possibly destroying our troops against a man who just four months ago mr bad report was hugging in public the air is thick with hypocrisy so we could have singled out other dreadful dictators we could have gone on the tracks with garbage or chosen all sorts of different places and i just don't know why they picked don't believe they filtered through our good. to put ground troops. in all the member states involved let's have a real strong level of office and i think when people see cuts in frontline services for whatever reasons when people see that retirement age is going up when people see the taxes both direct and indirect will they're paying going up they were right to question what on earth are we doing getting involved in an open ended commitment in terms of war with libya look at possible goodness knows what else i do think back to a very close but i also feel that there are lots of countries small and certainly
3:07 pm
people woke up this morning and they looked at the television all the newspapers as portugal is about to topple you may. require a bailout but that is actually going to cost each british taxpayer about four. other actually the biggest effect on our pockets this week was about charles and his budget but it was the fact that the portuguese government fell in there about you filed out i think people have every reason to be pretty angry that they see their own costs going up their services being money being thrown overseas in all sorts of projects that they wouldn't necessarily support. well a little later this hour all of the events in libya an example of history repeating itself striking between the current military intervention the u.s. led campaign in yugoslavia twelve years ago which claimed two thousand civilian lives. on the news now european capitals would be preparing for
3:08 pm
a fresh and softer volley clashes in brussels on thursday. to hammer out a set of measures to ease the euro zone's debt crisis that's the single currency is placing a new threat with portugal and he said. artie's daniel bushell in brussels has more . in public leaders are saying they feel people's pain but behind the closed doors here in the european commission building they've imposed even more spending cuts slashing spending even further now that even applies to states outside the troubled euro zone places like poland latvia denmark will also participate so you get a sense of the crisis spreading across the european union i've met with some of the protesters out on the streets and ask them why they're fighting the plans. no more layoffs to pay cuts no retirement the message from twenty thousand angry demonstrators pushed back with water cannons and pepper spray by riot police
3:09 pm
the protesters tried to get through to e.u. leaders meeting in brussels to slash spending this money was made. to be used for such a curate it was meant to be used for the health. the bank so when you heard. that word was to take brand because of the prison there goes across europe voters are saying no to malls there it's the measures portugal's prime minister has quit after paula but voted down a fresh round of cuts because he has three months left to repay almost ten billion euro at a time when its sovereign credit rating has been caught and the only option left is national default to tell libbers the country called pay back its loans or accept an e.u. bailout similar to greece and ireland hasn't happened in the west in the second world war but the longer you respond this necessary evil. the more costly it is
3:10 pm
is going to be at the same time military intervention in libya is costing hundreds of millions of euros maybe a few areas so what they see is an unnecessary and expensive campaign somebody. transfer of the effect of the finance minister about the financing of this and i think the overwhelming sense that you got from it among the public in britain with skepticism with millions unemployed across europe people losing patience with politicians who seem out of touch with reality literacy familiar sights on the streets of the e.u. is government built tightly he's doing not just al to work it big so the question is now the right time to spend the money available on news of the world go to bush or r.t. brussels. the japanese government is debating whether to expand the evacuation zone around the fukushima power plant water radiation there is now ten thousand times
3:11 pm
higher than the norm evacuation area is currently twenty kilometers around the plant and those living close to the area are seeing a lack of vital supplies but it is in tokyo. the government does seem to have almost failed these people over the past two weeks now those living within the twenty kilometer range they got a very simple instruction straight away as soon as the accident happened they were told to leave people in the twenty to thirty kilometer range and in fact the population of the area could be as high as one hundred thirty thousand we don't know how many of those people are still not area but it's numbering in the tens of thousands they were given very contradictory into instructions they were told that they could stay in the homes that they would be ok as long as they shut their windows and didn't go out but other weeks are told that what we're actually witnessing is that these people are not getting even the basic supplies so what is there that they're staying in their homes are protecting themselves from radiation their government isn't even able to give them food and water although the necessities because nobody else will be prepared to go into the area and now we're
3:12 pm
finding out is that in fact the laws might not be safe because once they get over the saying ok we can give you the opportunity to relocate but don't worry we're only doing this for convenience coffee is safe and see and for science experts in completely different picture there's been high levels of radiation detected out of the twenty kilometer women already in which you have it when you have radiation levels that that level is that in a week or two you'll have people that are experiencing the radiation exposure of nuclear plant workers are you know over the course of their career and these are people in a situation where there's been an earthquake there's been a tsunami there's a shortage of food there's a shortage of water as these people should not be allowed to remain in such an extraordinary area this is something which highlights the trust issues which have been quite a problem here in japan people who are not getting enough information from the government and this has led to a degree of an egg is led to a polling flying public calling of war in tokyo over the last few days people
3:13 pm
exchanging room with some which are untrue and a lot of information being passed on by bloggers who are on the one. and doing a very important job because the thing is to govern the government but on the other hand as you know these unofficial sources of information can sometimes be hysterical badly informed themselves and therefore it's probably a false structure so we've seen politicians in the last few days stepping in and actually criticizing the government for the way it's been handling this crisis people exposure again and again and again on television and the government one tell you how many hours of work the hell's going on so the government should not be releasing information timing fish should tell you what's really happening so right now the people who are wondering if the government is telling you true stories some of the pictures which we have been seeing are truly
3:14 pm
horrifying people who would normally be cremated under japanese culture of the japanese religion instead being dumped into what the mass graves sometimes end badly hastily constructed coffins sometimes even in plastic bags with the government saying ok this is the best we can do for now or this is all that we can do and we will later exude these people and give them a proper cremation so you can imagine you know considering the stress of their relatives have already gone through we can imagine bullets being told something like this can do to people psyche this is their very negative side but on the other hand there is some thing to be optimistic about and we've already seen some of the roads rebuilt you already seen some of the train service is restored as well as of course what you can dispute is the figures which are already receiving which is more than ten thousand people there and seventeen thousand people missing you know most of whom are presumed to be dead as well. party here or not is keeping updated also on japan on our twitter feed and in one of these latest tweets we can see
3:15 pm
talks about into being a top japanese official who claims big energy companies for the crisis want to find out more log on to our feet. underscore calm there on twitter. for more on the radiation concerns and the nuclear crisis in japan i can now talk to you and have a campaign and atomic power is but for greenpeace is joining us there in brussels now the governments advise those living close to the evacuation zone to voluntarily leave their homes and an issue that was addressing that report we've just seen there are people really being told the full picture or doesn't the government really know itself what's happening there this is advise comes quite late so i mean . several organizations in japan already called on sunday including most of greenpeace on sunday on the authorities to give this advice the authorities gave this is also already earlier the advice is now is those stronger. because
3:16 pm
the chance of large amounts of radiation commodes are still there and people have been in their houses really for two weeks what about the current situation you say the chance of further large amounts of radiation being emitted it emitted from there but we we already have had reports of contamination of water and food in different parts of japan yet just how high all those radiation risks now are not just in the vicinity of where the plant. what we've seen is calculations have shown that we are far over the hundred thousand. reactor which means that we can now slowly start comparing this disaster which was at the beach a bill. there are already calls for or. registering this as an. event and many people would disagree we've had many analysts saying this is not going to be after all those analysts who are being talking to in the last few days but you seriously think the scenario could change and that all comparisons now
3:17 pm
the comparisons are already there and they're based on the fact that we see these large amounts of radioactive materials already coming into millions armand's until now. a lot of the so-called experts that we hear all the last days. have a conflict of interest with the fact that they do come from the from the nuclear energy industry and the industry at the moment is nothing less than intending to try to do everything to give the impression that everything is under control but the reality is that we do see here a very large very large yesterday and it is important that people are aware possible dangers and certainly who. are well advised to follow the view of the japanese as well let's talk about those who you just mentioned who have an interest in the nuclear industry this was a one off wasn't it this doesn't mean that nuclear energy is unsafe elsewhere around the world doesn't it we've being only in two thousand and six quite near to
3:18 pm
a similar situation in sweden know these these kind of incidents most of the scale of course but very many near misses that just mere trees. is a dangerous to. reach we've seen let's just look for in japan you're talking about technology which was built when i was fourteen years ago and an earthquake prone zone shortly lessons have been learned now and that's forty years ago the modern techniques for a safe modern nuclear power stations. three weeks ago that. a country with the highest. safety measures and highest safety culture now we're suddenly saying well it's an old reactor and it's. the newer ones we had two years ago three years ago already earthquake it was not this big.
3:19 pm
at the moment there that there was no tsunami if there would have. been a similar situation will be the inherent dress risk is always there just just briefly from your air as an expert on nuclear matters. for the last few days people have been saying this is a critical situation it's going to get worse i understand a reactor core is now identified as being damaged where is this disaster really heading if it's all because it seems to be that it's going on and on without any real major conclusion but what we really hope is that they will be able to keep the cooling off the reactor cores and. that cooling can be kept in place then the situation slowly will stabilize and the operators and workers there will be able to . waste to keep the. truth. here is
3:20 pm
constantly one reason or another and that's going to be an occupy a very heavy object foremost. in the last two weeks in quake. and bring us back to the same situation again for weeks ok just finally you're from greenpeace would you like this to be the end of nuclear power plants in the future now this is the at that now in fact for the nuclear industry. i do think that this will have a profound influence on the nuclear industry and i do hope that people will know the alternatives which do exist and which can bring is a clean future instead of always having to juggle all of it seems to come thanks very much indeed nuclear power expert from greenpeace joining us there in brussels interesting to hear we have to say thanks. well let's start now return to the situation in libya where nato will shortly assume control of the bombing campaign there the civilians are still at threat from kind of going after seemingly
3:21 pm
undeterred armies but also now risk the danger of so-called collateral damage from the allies and as artie's and started checking reports it's becoming increasingly reminiscent of nato bombing of yugoslavia twelve years ago. in march seasons change sunshine invites americans onto the streets american politicians invite themselves to foreign countries. marsh nine hundred ninety nine the u.s. and its nato allies but yugoslavia armed forces joined our nato allies in airstrikes against serbian forces responsible for the brutality in kosovo march two thousand and eleven america's next president and a new coalition of the willing to attack libya the u.n. security council passed a strong resolution that demands and up to the violence against its. it authorizes the use of force here if it were sanctioned by the un security council in contrast to the bombings of the sabia there was no such green light in ninety ninety nine in the bombings were led by needle the first time
3:22 pm
a military alliance atop the sovereign nation a non nato member causing no threat to the group similarly libya poses no external threat and there are other striking parallels between the conduct of these wars the enemy then slaughtered on the loss of each job the new hitler the enemy of today the eccentric one market and power for over forty years now similarly villainize by the us. these to see step down from power and leave the goal now and back then getting rid of a leader no longer favored by the west taking sides with a questionable opposition in what started as a civil war what we're seeing is a full fledged war including attempting would only to kill the head of state of the targeted country and the leaders of the government out again as you know a page from the answer of book of twelve years ago. what is the world learned only one march the official reason for western involvement and so-called humanitarian
3:23 pm
mission a term coined amid the bombings of nine hundred ninety nine if you. believe this is going to save its people. say something that was. a rationale still relied upon but widely questioned it. is a very serious officer here as with all this is a very well as it is of him if he. says that he will hear is a serious the engine of that machine both veteran now a no fly zone fueled in libya by the additional all necessary measures where the line between the enemy in a foreign land and its civilians often gets a blur. in yugoslavia with thousands of people killed and close to one million displaced after the war when they get a count they found the u.s. nato bombs had just read fourteen tanks and serbia fourteen tanks but they had also
3:24 pm
four hundred thirty seven schools a similar scenario is now predicted in libya got a quick bit of bombing will sort the matter out but in fact i think they will find that it will last far longer than they have gambled for twelve years on serbia still remembers the losses inflicted by u.s. nato bombings the u.s. is now involved in its fourth attack of a foreign nation in the same twelve years and there's a. new york. with a summary of the main development in six minutes from now in the meantime business is next with you. welcome to business r.c. it's great to have you with us russia's state run oil for growth that says it will continue to pursue its exploration and assets deal with b.p. stockholm arbitration tribunals will be do you broke the b.p.

3:26 pm
going to continue you know i don't see this is a particular shock. to the judgment or good judgment i think this is sort of the next step. in a game plan we will see the result of over the next several months but i think this is the last step or two. that's going to have the market's performance in europe share with bounded from losses to traders three quarters of a percent higher and it's been a fairly positive day across the continent where. they've done expanding positive territory. in russia yes and the mindsets have turned positive following those rising. they indices gaining more than half of a percent. at stake and they could be individually not good movers good heroes snuffles learn that bloke's arctic deal dropped around zero point four percent faster cars are almost a six percent as a becomes the sole company to participate in the information society a state project which means it will be receiving a lot of new contracts and was trading in the blackall news increased state stake
